Dwelling in His Presence: 30 Days of Intimacy with God

In her book, Dwelling in His Presence, Cynthia Heald shares thirty commands from God, found in the bible, in an effort to help you draw closer to God. The thirty commands, one for each day, help you to be in the Word everyday and they give you something to meditate on for the rest of the day. At the end of every chapter, Cynthia provides questions to help you apply each command to your life. There is also a prayer section where she provides ideas of what to talk to God about, a quote that ties into the subject matter as well as a prayer that you could use if words elude you.


Cynthia Heald’s book was wonderfully written. The chapters are short enough that the book would work well for even the busiest woman. The subjects that she chose to talk about bring up issues that many of us women have today. She provided real stories about real people that made me feel like I was not alone in how I felt or thought. The stories provided wonderful examples of how God’s Word is alive and can be applied to your life today even though the bible was written long ago. God wants to have daily quality time with us and Cynthia’s book provides everything that you would need to accomplish that.
